An Acrostic Poem - (Scots Gaelic - Google It lol))
Personal politeness is much overrated
Of course, it is meant to be the norm
Good god in heaven certainly it is not
Manners costeth nothing, and maketh the man
Or so many folks claim, but never practice
Tentative nosy bastard questions asked
How did you manage to lose your legs?
Obviously, it is none of their feckin business!
Incessantly, many random strangers still ask
Now I just retort "Kiss My Ass!"

Human nature will always be to ask about what one does not understand. Sometimes you don't need to know the how or the why... this was really good.
